Getting there

Planes

There are three airports in Berlin. Berlin International | better known as Tegel | is the most likely arrival point for visitors from the US. It’s about six miles north of the city centre | and is well served by transport links. Schönefeld and Tempelhof are equally easy to get to and from. For information | go to www.berlin-airport.de.
